Miami is walking a tightrope while juggling torches and getting away with it so far. I'm honestly impressed you can put the game down to edit videos because once the recruit win dopamine starts hitting it's so hard to stop.
Miami Va Tech were part of the Big East Conference. Miami dominated the series until mid 90’s and since the teams have been petty even. In the early 2000’s each team won a top 10 match up against the other.
I really liked the structure of this episode! Really nice balance between team building, games, and pace. I'm assuming really important games will get more attention individually too. Super excited!
KJ Osborn actually started his college career at Buffalo then transferred to Miami for one year. Not sure if you knew that but it seemed fitting to mention with the 2 dynasties you started after you brought him up in this video
26:14 From what I've seen, the consensus is that Gems and Busts indicate the player's DEVELOPMENT TRAIT, not their overall. He might not have the most room to grow, but if you like his out-the-gate ratings anyway, John Freeman can still, ahem, "live up to his family name and face full-life consequences." :P
You can soft sell and hard sell the same recruit. This has helped me a lot once I releaized it. For the hard sell choose the three checkmarks, then for the soft sell choose an option that has at least two of the check marks.
Sorry why wouldn't you pick for soft sell the option with 3 check marks? Is it just because in this case where you do both hard and soft sell you can't pick the same option? Or is it actually better for soft sell to pick an option where not everything is checked?
Don't do Coach mode. It is very broken. The QBs will not escape the pocket, ever, like it is a 0% chance. They will also throw picks a lot. They also can't run the option, they will 100% of the time give it to the running back or keep the ball on a speed option. DO, NOT, USE, COACH MODE.
@@carterragle5355 I just wanted to get the message out. I don't even own the game. Also, Coach Mode actually worked in NCAA14 so that's a big RIP on EA right there.
"And we got Tony Rizzo who's going to play first base for us" Bruh LOL I was taking a drink, you can't do that to me. The deadpan delivery was the cherry on top.
I’m loving the pace of the series so far. Catching the 4th quarter of these games are perfect. Also dig the new music you’ve been choosing. Loving this series!
I like the format of this episode, I like it when you jump to the 4th quarter to see the ends of the games. Makes the games more interesting and get more games in that way
I’m not a fan of either but from what I can understand, VT and Miami rivalry goes back to when they were both in the big east. I think they played some big games in the early 2000’s but I was barley born so idk 😂
I wish they would rename the conferences. It's silly having a team from California in the atlantic coast conference. I know it doesn't matter, but it bothers my OCD.
Getting early commits is still the key tbh, from what I've seen you'll only lose a plyer that's verbally committed to you if you break their dealbreaker after they've committed. So like they have a B championship contender and you go 4-8 they might decommit. Or playing time and then you get a guy in via the transfer portal i their position who affects their playing time, had that happen to me once.
Whatever you thought of recruiting Can from 14... you're just going to have to forget. Recruiting is the wildcard world it is in real life, can't be comfortable until the guy actually signs.
Cane I LOVED the pace of this video, good to slow down a bit for key games and I'm sure youll slow down a lot more for conference championships or playoffs, but for the general regular season, its good to get the season started quickly and move until the games really matter
Cane you've made the worst football games over the past decade enjoyable so you best believe we don't care about a slightly buggy new football game. Go Cane's Canes ❤️🔥
Oh, I absolutely do care about these broken games and the content creators that use them. They make the games seem a lot better than what they are and that influences people to buy it thinking they will get the same experience. Remember, Cane once took a break from Madden because the game was so bad. Then came right back the next season, even though that game wasn't any better, but simply because he thought there might be more to make content with. That's when I stopped being a fan of his channels. I am only watching this series long enough to find out if Cane runs in the the numerous issues this game has since it is literally a college reskin of Madden.
@@eduardopena5893 I can see why you feel that way but we aren't blind and there's a clear difference in a game that's good for content and a game that's good to play. The game isn't perfect but still leaps and bounds better than madden...
@@brandon5262 It is literally Madden, with the same old Madden bugs and glitches that have been around for years. The only thing that makes it different is the college setting, and the tweak they have done to the game speed to make the game faster. Dumbed-down AI makes big plays on offense easier to pull off. I am a huge franchise player, so problems with that mode will massively affect any fun I would have with any sports game.
@@eduardopena5893 as far as I know coaches coordinators and other staff doesn't really matter unless you have the chiefs playback in madden. Haven't seen that here. Also scouting vs recruiting is a complete 180. This is the most complete ea sports game at launch since like madden 15. Yes the game needs work but it isn't as bad as we thought this could possibly be
FYI, just because the game says an ATH is a certain position in their tendency, that isn’t always their best position. Had an ATH labeled as a powerback but he was only a 60 RB and a 68 DE
Miami and Virginia Tech are rivals because they were both charter members of the Big East back in 1991, and were both in that conference for at least football up until they both bolted for the ACC in 2003. So they've been in the same conference together for over 30 years at this point.
Those interest bars you see for recruits are for that stage only. So if they are at the top of the interest bar, that doesn’t mean they will commit, that means they will move onto the next stage and then the bars will reset to base level for the start of the new stage.
The best part is even if you win the whole thing this year. So much of the roster is leaving that you can't sustain it immediately. And which only so many years with players it just takes 1 bad recruitment class to change things quickly.
I've always wondered How often would the CPU players and teams do laterals (like towards the end of a game after the pass is thrown). I personally do not recall a moment that this occurred. Also, hopefully the coach mode gets fixed cause that is a very nice mode to use (i enjoy it a lot.) this game feels like it's in a weird middle ground of good/bad. People like the features (and probably just like the fact that it's back), but I've heard and seen a lot of issues (like a lot of other people have) that seem to affect simulation styled gameplay. But overall, can say that i enjoy this series, and hope that the gameplay issues can get fixed soon enough.
You really should give every player on your board a scholarship. If they lock you out or commit elsewhere, you can remove them, and the scholarship slot opens up again.
It won’t matter as much here but at least with Buffalo, hard selling can be detrimental. If your grades aren’t good enough, the recruit can go “Nope that’s a dealbreaker” so I never do it with lower than a B- unless I’m desperate. Hard Sell is practically the same as sending the house, it primarily opens up another 10 hours to recruit, whether it’s that player or a different guy.
*THANK YOU!!!* So cathartic to see someone else in the comments old enough to remember the '90s at all let alone college football back then. These kids have no idea, it's up to us geezers to educate them 😎
VT and Miami are rivals because they were both the top schools of the Big East back in the day and since they both joined the ACC, there is no love lost. That is why id assume
I enjoy the pace of the series. I have no idea how NCAA 25 is like 10 seasons out, but having Miami (or any team) as a powerhouse for a decade there are still story lines. Maybe go through a stretch of one and dones in the playyoffs because of a QB, but the next one steps up and brings back home the title.🤷♂️ Once again, all up to EA and its AI to determine whether there's a point in which every season after becoming a powerhouse is an automatic NC. Hopefully it stays competitive fun for the 30 year stretch.🤞
I think the last patch made the game work a little better on slow super sim. I actually see penalties now, other than just roughing the kicker, which is still broken. I see that penalty multiple times in games, so I just turn it off.
Regarding visits...I don't think that it's a bug (like with Fabroni), but rather that the player already has visits set for the games that you have left
Just a heads up. I was doing a team builder dynasty so we are a 1 star program. Towards the end of the year a 4 star DT wasn’t getting scouted at all so I put as much points as I possibly could into him. I was leading the way for the last few weeks of the season however on national signing day it said he signed with ole miss. Now my game crashed so I don’t know if that had an impact on this, but the DT ended up being on my team at the start of the preseason. Idk if that was a bug or what, but it said he was signing with ole miss and didn’t
Sucks the players enrolling in the summer aren't on the roster. Miami is missing 3 stud DL recruits from this class and we signed the #1 K in high school. Hes not on the roster either
They might be added with a roster update later, not sure how the NIL works, if players who weren't in the game before it was released can be added later.
CPU kickers can’t hit close field goals rn. It would be cool if it just happened randomly but unfortunately they can’t handle short kicks from each hash. Unless it’s dead center
For any school moving to the other conferences....it was just money and all the schools except for two in the Pac 12 went away due to the poor leadership in the pac-12 overall (and for not getting good TV deals) Now we have the Big 10, ACC, SEC, and even the Big 12 grew from all of that and some
The “sway” isn’t what you’re thinking. It’s swaying his decision on a particular topic. Like he has a D for playing time you can sway that not change his school choice.
I'm a little disappointed that this game didn't set a different camera angle for viewing the field goal and extra point attempts. They're always shown in live games from either behind the kicker or behind the goal posts to let you see how accurate the kick is.
Am I the only ones questioning not taking the RTK penalty? Would it not be an automatic 1st down +15 yards? So thats a new set of downs to take more time off the clock and try to get closer for the GW FG. Someone correct me if Im wrong but I dont think I am
what i found that works best for me when i recruit, the very first week im only putting 10-15 targets and fully scouting them so i can go all 65 points on each one without worrying im gonna lose them. and then slowly after they each commit i add more targets. in my opinion cane, you're spreading your points wayyyyyyyyy too thin and just praying on other teams to be dumb.
I know you don’t really do this, but if you close the app, you won’t be able to re-enter whatever game you were in. It doesn’t save progress like Madden would.
From what I’ve heard, if you get a 4 star player and they are a bust that just means they’re a high tier 3 star player. Same with gems, a 4 star gem is a lower tier 5 star player I believe.

Lol I forgot kids be on here
Yes! I feel cane slowly adjusting to it this finna go down as one the greatest college dynasty’s ever
What brought Cal to the ACC? The fact the big ten and big 12 didn’t want them and they needed to stay in a power conference. Lol

I really enjoyed this video, you can never have enough football in your day
If for nothing else the end of game sequence in Lane Stadium in 2011 makes this a classic matchup, two old Big East turned ACC powers
Those interest bars you see for recruits are for that stage only. So if they are at the top of the interest bar, that doesn’t mean they will commit, that means they will move onto the next stage and then the bars will reset to base level for the start of the new stage.

Miami vs VT is a big game on both schedules and both teams travel well to these games.
I live 30 mins from VA tech campus as a Miami fan. I can tell you the hate is soooooo real both ways
1 hour Cane dynasty 🥳🥳🥳
And we get Tony Rizzo who’s going to play first base for us. I laughed at that.
VA Tech and Miami's rivalry goes back to the late 90s and early 2000s, mainly. At that time they were the top 2 teams in the Big East.
I've always wondered
How often would the CPU players and teams do laterals (like towards the end of a game after the pass is thrown). I personally do not recall a moment that this occurred.

Hey Cane. Busts in this game aren’t necessarily worse players. They just have lower development traits and lower skill caps in my experience.
Cal: can we join

Cal: and?
As an FSU fan and now alum, I can unfortunately say that Ryan Fitzgerald missing an 18-yard FG is not unusual😭

In CFB25 you’ll see these every time in CPU vs CPU, they always miss when inside 5 yard line on a hash.
Bobby Bowden once quipped that his tombstone would say "He had to play Miami"
Off topic but Do you think I would have to restart my offline dynasty when the new patch comes out?
i cannot believe wide right iv happened in this series in season 1 thats hilarious

You gotta be more aggressive in recruiting. I was able to get a top 24 recruiting class at Kent state my second year. Focus on 6-10 at a time
F L O R I D A S T A T E! Florida state Florida state Florida State Hey!(fsu fans know this one!)
I wonder if Cane will run into the progression issue in Dynasty Mode. I guess it depends on how many seasons he intends on playing.
WIDE RIGHT!!!
I think you need to lock up Keenan even if its as the backup that throw power is better than the other 2 top prospects at qb your looking at.
I think players commit when the bar fills
I know you don’t really do this, but if you close the app, you won’t be able to re-enter whatever game you were in. It doesn’t save progress like Madden would.
You need to bring the rock in for alumni
you're really gonna win the Natty in your first year hahah
How about Reggie Wayne, wide receiver alum of the U ????
wanted to see the ratings of the Florida State Kicker. How in the world did he miss that kick
Does the series end if you win the natty first szn 😂
Seems like a soft sell will only lead to...tainted love. (Rim shot.)
You have to be an '80s kid to get that reference but I just couldn't resist 😋
You want to sway a prospect when you have a bad grade in one of their interests, so you can move their interest to an area you are strong in
You had too many points on Fraboni. The visit is 40, and you were already at 55/60 hours for him?
Willie Countess having close to home in his top 3 amd and then not even visiting the school in his backyard? For shame!
sometimes its better to do the soft sell and then send the family and check socials for 50 points instead of just sending the house
I’m sure Tony Rizzo is going to get a lot further than first base. They don’t call him Rizzo for nothing.
Move Damien Wralings to SS if you land him.
Use #4 he’s a bruiser with speed
What difficulty do you have it on?
I have always done these series on all pro in Madden and I'm on all american in this game. That gives the most balanced ratings based gameplay.
@@MrHurriicaneLP If there is a higher difficulty you need to play on that. Not a good series when the cpu never wins a game.
Reggie Wayne went to the U
Go Nolez!

FSU losing because of another wide right was too funny. The game might be too realistic.
From what I’ve heard, if you get a 4 star player and they are a bust that just means they’re a high tier 3 star player. Same with gems, a 4 star gem is a lower tier 5 star player I believe.
